Résumé

In the night's stay, where pulsate the origins (Alexandria, Milan, Mexico), Italo-Mexican poet Fabio Morabito (Alexandria, 1955) works to turn the language towards poetic inflammation. Since the very first collection, writing intimately binds to the night, where it is lodged, built and thought of in an inbetweenness, writing on the borders of the first idiom - the family and nomadic Italian - and of the adopted Spanish as the palimpsest of the intimate breath. So the lyrical gesture always seems to question, in the momentum of the verses, the part of the advance and that of the reversal of a voice constantly reconquered to strangeness. We intend here to examine the desire of night of a poet both ``watchman'' on the edge and arouser of the nocturnal sensibility, awakener of the backlight language of the poem and nocturnal voyeur, poet wanderer, stealthy stealer of words and images or iconic vampire. He will be also a ``shaper'', transforming the night of the language - the nocturnality of the Italian left behind - into deep breathing, into secret and disturbing rhythm of poems captured through dark.
